If you do go, remember, that the authoritarians will be taking notes and your picture.
But if you do go, make sure to tape them and ask the cops if they will be faithful to the BOR or the commie NY governor. Everyone would like to have a list of traitors when the SHTF.

One problem with seperating NYC from the rest of the state is that NYC and the surrounding suburban counties pay the majority of the taxes.

On the other hand, NYC water comes from the Catskills. The water is so good that it is a fair trade.

That's something I often hear. My answer is: There is no true accounting of this, and also - these things will sort themselves out after separation. We in Upstate pay higher taxes to Albany, who then deigns to give it back to us with transfers to their Gov't, education and business cronies in Upstate, and have the gall claim they are subsidizing us. We also suffer through rules, regulations and mandates made for NY City, which add to a high cost of living and doing business in Upstate. It is why jobs and young people are leaving, and most towns and small cities of Upstate look like Appalachia.

If this changed, Upstate NY could achieve a normal, balanced economy.

Also, does anyone count how much the NY State Power Authority (with a board comprised completely of downstate members) subsidizes NY City with cheap hydro-power from Niagara Falls?

“New York City and the Downstate Suburbs give far more to
Albany in taxes and other revenues than they get in
state-funded expenditures. The Capital Region and the Rest of State, by contrast, get significantly more than they give. These conclusions hold under any of several alternative methodologies this study employs for regional allocation of the personal income tax and selected expenditures.

“Tables 1a and 1b on the following page summarize the overall distribution of revenues and expenditures under two alternative assumptions...”

For those unfamiliar with New York State government, people signed to ‘initiatives’ or ‘special assignments’ are connected and thereby well vetted...promotion is soon to follow. Ideally, they find their promotion before there is measurable success! Pure ideology.

Will people in grizzly country have to use only pepper spray and pots to defend themselves? I know there are only black bears in NY but just wondering.

There's also packs of coyotes (and no natural predators to keep them under control). A pack of coyotes can take down a large buck, so a lone human at night is considered easy prey (No one walks alone out here without a gun at night). Right now, they're attacking and eating dogs and cats right out of peoples yards. It won't be long before they start going after human kids. Good thing for the parents, though. Now, because of the new gun laws, they'll have 6 bullets to kill a dozen coyotes before the kids disappear into the woods. They'd better practice up on their bank shots. They're going to have to kill two coyotes at a time with one bullet - and never miss!
